Funny thing about regret is...... its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.

By the time they got around to building my bike ('77 550) I was out of school, had spent 4 years in the Army and got out, got married, had a kid, and the kid was about ready to start school.

My 750 was built in April '73

I was born in May '73

We were destined to grow old together!! :D
